  • I agree with Petra that I’ve definitely noticed a bias toward getting drops from Fey mobs over the native Destard spawn.
  • Yoshi said: "a lot of posts in this thread saying this or that should not be changed, I have not proposed changing town buff or adding it to fel/reds.Just proposed a buff to act as a buff, instead of a permanent char stat upgrade that it cur…
  • keven2002 said: If the Devs could just limit the number of paragons to either by type (ie. 1 paragon SW per floor) or total (ie 10 total paragons per floor) that would be all that is needed. By making them a guaranteed drop, you would have …
  • Seems to me that we need a couple adjustments to this dungeon next time: Keep the shadow wyrms off level 1 and 3.  This leaves 1 high level paragon per level to deal with. A significant increase to the low/mid level fey monsters.  I believe this a…

  • Another option would be to have a sort of “blue print” export/import function. Player A designs a house, exports blue print deed from the customization menu. Player A sells or gives the blue print to player B. Player B goes into custom mode and imp…
  • Yoshi said: “You have fallen into reliance category, if you could instantly re-apply the buff when you lost it, it would be no different to losing the buff… having no buff should not cripple your char to the extent that you cannot complete an…
  • Yoshi said: Opinion piece ”town buff should be purgeable/ loss at death for the following reasons: 1 maintain consistency with other buffs 2 instant power creep reversal 3 would allow people to play as reds - currently not many people play as…

  • Pawain said: Yes that whip is the best weapon they have introduced as a rewards IMO.  It has the leeches and 3 other things that are not useless. It's downsides are: it is 100% physical damage. The DI is only 25, My toons need 35. It is shar…
  • Seth said: Which is worse: Player A recall to pick up egg manually, but he also places bagball to block scripter (Player B ).  Player B (scripter) could be AFK or not - no one knows for sure except perhaps GM. We are all guessing.  So who i…

  • I think it would be interesting to see the numbers of luck potions used by day since this event started.  As a business first and entertainment second, I would imagine it likely very obvious at which point this event was more successful.
  • Yoshi said: "Then person X (not me, definitely not me using a vpn to run loads of EJ accounts) will just transfer the eggs from bots to a paid account first stood next to the artificer and hand in with paid account. I'm not stupid.  I think …
  • Simply cap the number of eggs that an EJ account can turn in per day, maybe 20 per account. Everyone can participate, but paid accounts get unlimited turn ins.
  • As others have pointed out, deliberately placing objects or pets in a particular location for the purpose of blocking other players recall locations in Tram is a form of griefing and is subject to GM action.  In this instance you’re substituting you…
  • I see lots of comments about how scripters ruin the game, ban EJ accounts, ban gold sellers… this and that…. Personally I think it’s absolutely the wrong approach to the problem. IMO scripters only exist because there is demand for their product/se…

  • Took my accounts back to Destard tonight.  Shadow wyrms were back to spawning on level 1.  Again I saw 2 other people in the dungeon, 1 back by the ankh and one by the demons on level 2... neither stuck around more than a couple minutes.  After 20 m…
  • Did another hour this morning and got about 10 drops on each archer.  Saw one other person in the dungeon for about 10 minutes.  Cleared spawn on all 3 levels, and like before its so much running around in order to find spawn to kill... especially f…
  • Probably not a popular opinion here, but a second EJ account with the ability to recall and res might provide a solution to dying in remote locations.
  • I ran my accounts (2 archers/2 bards) on Napa this morning for about 2 hours.  For the most part I was the only one in the dungeon.  I rotated through all areas killing everything.  After 2 hours with no potions I had about 35 drops (15/16 for each …
